20. Electrical current is directly sent through the Pt foil in the CVD chamber during growth. We do not know the exact temperature value because our thermal couple can only measure up to 1000 C. It can be empirically estimated to be 1500 C as a small additional increase in the power will result in Pt melting.
21. In this Ar-rich atmosphere, even longer growth time will deposit too much carbon on the Pt surface.
